Here is the seventh CFB SBPI installment of the 2015
season.To read more about how I
calculate my ratings look back at this
entry that also has links to other entries surrounding this topic.

Without further ado here are the Top 25 rankings through
action on Saturday November 28.The
columns OFF/DEF/TOTAL represent where each team statistically ranks across 128
teams in the FBS; we also included ESPN’s FPI & Sagarin’s rankings which
can be used as a solid comparison tool followed by each team’s SOS adjusted
RATING and RANK:
